    Haha, I'm not denying it looks great... Just to get a lift like that that will still perform well out in the desert on rocky hardpan where I like to go is out of my price range for now!

    I like the idea of paining the flares and losing the bug shield. Is there an easy way to get the flares pained? Just a body shop?

    Plastidip to see if you like it. Plastidip is like a test course for paint.

    I agree that color-matching grille surround will really improve the look. The front end looks too much like a work truck, imo.

    get rid of those running boards paint bumper white along with fender flairs and grille surround and if that doesn't do the trick upgrade the wheels to 35s you should most likely still fit in the garage :thumbsup:

    I agree with other that mentioned painting grill surround white. It is a little tucked.

    Id say probably the one single thing missing is 35's. Something just transforms when you get into that ballgame. suggest body mount chop and maybe a more plus 12 or zero offset and that will create that aggressive look you want.


    i really wish i wouldn't have lifted mineCamper shell day one.jpg 6". but heres my truck for sake of pic.

    Yep, get rid of the bug shield and paint the grille surround white. I think the flares look fine. Doesn’t hurt to have some contrasting colors in the right places.
